LIFE WORK BALANCE.
by suchet bal on Jun 13, 2007 01:01 PM

In shool we read about the industrial revolution and its side effects. The industrial bosses made the workers work long hours and paid them low wages. Then came social reformers who came up with the Labour Act or so where by they laid down certain rules. One of it was that the work shift should be for 8 hours only. If a worker is made to work for more than 8 hours he is to be paid overtime. This was exploited by the labour forces by demanding overtime to get more wages. So the boses have promoted the workers and made them Officers. Now the so called Officers are doing the work of workers for long hours beyound the 8 hours and are not benifited by the Labour Act or so. So we need new generation Social reformers who will bell the cat and bring life work balance in the life of all Officers / workers. Till then our jobs will be causing our personal lives to suffer and we will be working long hours at offices for low wages.
